that Harvard liberalism in religious mat

Nay, on the hill where old beliefs were bound

DIR. McCosh's administration has been

to be selected, one by the president Of tho
United States, one by the queen, and one
by the Austrian ambassador at London,
unless England and the United States could
agree upon him, which they did not. After
many delays the commission met at Halifax
in 1917, and made the celebrated Halifax
award-that tho United States should pay
Great Britain, for full fishery rights, the
enormous sum of Il ,10O,0 600, nearly 50, 100000,

hell employed in Titantic war. Mr.. Smol.
lianinoif employed two years in making
nitroglycerine safe to handle while preserv
ing its explosive powers; he has since ex-
perimented in gunnery until he is able to fire
shells loaded with the substance and have
them explode or not, as they are or are not
furnished with his igniter. He has fired 900
shells by his new method without enc ex
plodng in the gun. Very elaborate tests
were made at Newport, r, l., in the presence
of a board of naval officers A six inch gun
was used, with the ordinary service charge
of powder; the shells without the igniter
were fired against strong masonry and did
not explode. Shells with the igniter were
then fired through the air and over the water
and exploded at mile and half distance
The officers pronounced the experiment a
complete success and the invention one of
high importance, Further experiments We're
made at Governors island, New York har-
